ABSTRACT
The article presents an assessment of the technical condition of the Manor Granary Barn of Zofia Kossak in Górki Wielkie. Due to its architectural value, the building holds special significance for the local community. Proper verification of the technical condition was crucial for the planned renovation and reconstruction in the next stage. It is planned that the Granary building will be transformed into an office and service complex with gastronomic and cultural elements as part of the "Kossak Educational and Cultural Center" project in the future. The history of the granary building dates back to the 18th century when it was part of an estate or manor, mainly serving as a warehouse for agricultural produce and other valuable goods. The assessment of the technical condition of the building was carried out with regard to the planned change of function to create various spaces such as exhibition halls, a café, or office spaces, which are intended to serve the organization of cultural and educational events. The implementation of the project will require a comprehensive technical analysis enabling the proper planning of renovation and modernization works. The scope of works will be related to necessary repairs of the roof, walls, ceilings, and facade, as well as adapting the interiors to the new needs of users. The transformation of the Granary into an office and service facility with gastronomic and cultural functions represents a significant step towards restoring life and functionality to this historic place.
